“It's hard to believe that so many Americans supported a liar and a bigot. Sometimes poetry says it better than prose."
The Inner Part: Louis Simpson: 1964 Pulitzer Prize winner for Poetry
When the Americans won the war for the first time in history, they assumed that they were the most important people.
Their behaviors changed. The leaders and the most important persons began to wear formal clothes. They stopped wearing shirts only.
Their wives thought that it was a mark of rude behavior to scratch their bodies in public.
Similarly, they started using formal language. They supposed that informal language would make them like common people.
In order to express their surprise, they stopped saying the informal world “Gosh”.
Their daughter seemed as sensitive as the tip of a fly rod.
Their sons looked as smooth as a V-8 engine.
They had lost their human qualities.
They had become like inanimate objects.
When the priests examined the inner parts of birds, they found that the heart has been misplaced and the small eggs inside them were as black as death and they were sending out a bad smell.
